MOUTHPIECE OR STEM FOR SMOKEHS ARTICLES.

I SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Iatent N G. 757,760, dated April19, 1904.

Application filed December 22. 1902. Serial No. 136,236. Nn modell) To@ZZ whom, it 771,04/ concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH A. MANAHAN, a citizen of the United States,residing in Manhattan borough, New York city, lin the county and Stateof New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mouthpieces orStems for Smokers Articles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements by which such an articleas a pipe or holder for cigars, cigarettes, and the like is made to sitconveniently in the mouth or to the tongue of a smoker and a pleasantdelivery of smoke is assured without liability of moisture, nicotin, orobjectionable matter entering the mouth.

This invention is set forth in the following specification and claims,and illustrated in the 'annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows apipe embodying this'invention and in use. Fig. 2 shows the mouthpiece.Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view of thestem. Fig. 5 shows a modiiication. Fig. 6 is a plan view 'of Fig. 5.Fig. is a sectionai view of a furthermodication. Fig. S is a side viewof Fig. 7.

A stem E is shown with smoke channel or bore F. A pipe-bowl is shown atA; but by the word bowl is included not merely a tobacco-receiver, asany funnel or suitably shaped receiving portion for a cigar or the likeis included in the invention.

The bowl is shown with stem-section B, having channel C to lead smokeinto the stem E. This channel C is shown slanting or inclined downwardly'to a well or pocket portion D.-

The mouthpiece or tip K has a stem-section I, adapted to screw to orconnect with the stem. This mouthpiece has the smoke-channel H and smokehole or outlet J.

The tip or mouthpiece has a smoke-deflector L, the under part of whichis curved to serve as a rest for or position the tongue O of the smoker,the teeth N serving to hold the tip or pipe in the mouth or between lipsM. The smoke-hole opens upwardly, and the smoke Q striking the deliectorspreads from thence in the mou th. The channel H leads to or andstem-section having smoke-channels.

safeguard against objectionable matter traveling along the stem.

The channel of the mouthpiece is shown of larger diameter than thechannel or bore F of the stem, and `the mouthpiece-channel eX- tendsbelow the stem-channel, or, in other words, the stem-channel is locatedabove the axis or along the upper part of the stem.

In Fig. 5 the outlet J is shown shortened as compared with Fig. 1, themouthpiece being of somewhat different shape.

In Figs. 7 and 8 the outlet J is shown forked or divided to cause adivision or spreading of" the smoke.

It will be obvious from the foregoing description and upon an inspectionof the drawings alluded to therein that the improved smokers articleincludes a bowl provided with a'stem-sectin having a smoke-channei, astem having a bore of diferential diameter, the end Yportions of thebore being'of greater diameter than the intermediate portion whichconstitutes a smoke-channel and being eX- tended below the saidintermediate portion to constitute wells, the outer well serving toreceive the stem-sectign, while the inner one receives a mouthpiece,both the mouthpiece In the,A present instance the smoke-channel in thestem-section opens directly into the interior of the bowl and leadsdownward and into the outer well at an angle, the result being that anyobjectionable -matter that is in the pipe is conveyed into said wellandwill not pass through the intermediate portion of the bore The innerwell ofcourse serves to receive any saliva that may be forced from themouth, so that such saliva will not bek forced into the bowl.

What I claim as new, and desire 'to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A smokers article including a bowl provided with a stem-sectionhaving a smokechannel, a stem having a bore wholly within portions ofthe bore being of greater diameter than the intermediate portion whichconstitutes a smoke-channel, and being extended below said intermediateportion to constitute wells, the outer well serving to receive saidstem-section, and a mouthpiece fitted mto the lnner well, having a smokechannel, said ,smoke-channel having branches at itsinner end.

3, A' smokers article including a bowl proL vided with a stem-sectionhaving a smokechanneL: a stem having a bore wholly within said stem andof dierential diameter, the end portions of the bore being of greaterdiameter than the intermediate portion which c'onstitutes asmoke-channel, and being extended below said intermediate portion toconstitute wells, the outer well serving to receive said stem-section,and the smoke-channel in the latter opening directly into the interiorof the bowl and extending downward therefrom at an angle and into saidouter well, and'a'mouth- .piece fitted into the inner well, having asmokechannel.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
